What a pleasant surprise! The folks at Slitherine have ported the outstanding wargame Battle Academy to iOS and the iPad version turned up on the app store today. I love this game on PC and have been playing it, and the expansion packs for a long time. I hope you can give it some love in the review category, and someone who is wise in the ways of forums will do a proper post . (sanuku?)

This is a full on, everything included version of the PC game. Nothing has been taken out, or stripped down to put it on iPad and it plays great with a touch interface...

At 15.99EUR it will be hard to convince people to take the risk. Not saying this isn't worth its price, but it's going to need positive reviews and frontpage coverage.

If Square Enix can ask 17.99 for a product (Tactics) that admittedly was unfinished out the door (graphics are pixelated), I don't see why another well known studio in the turn based wartime arena can not ask the same.

And yes I agree, they will have a tough road to hold at the $20 price point, but I believe after watching the video their reasoning is solid.

I saw this today and having never played the PC version find it hard to shell out for it even if the videos look great, with FF tactics they have the advantage of the Square Enix name that ensures a preexisting fan base this company needs to get the word out more have the game reviewed on some of the major sites to set peoples minds at ease about spending that money
